My Period Came!

W, 32y, PCOS history, was on contraceptive pills for 5-6 years, stopped last year.

Her period was very irregular since she stopped pills. She was given Metformin and Clomid (for 6 months) to bring on the period and ovulation, but unfortunately she didn’t become pregnant. After she stopped Metformin and Clomid, her cycle has become quite long again.

Her first appointment (the only one so far) was 39 days after her last period. She had acupuncture after consultation. Two days later, she sent me a text saying her period had arrived.

As they have decided to try possible natural pregnancy approach over IVF route, I’ve suggested her to have Chinese herbal medicine as well. We’ll see what happens next.
